Safran投资Prodways,以推动飞机和国防的3D打印

作为reported earlier in March,Prodways的母公司GroupeGorgé(EPA:GOE)打算通过首次公开募股(IPO)列出其3D打印部门,Prodways Group。

Now Safran Corporate Ventures has announced they are taking a stake in Prodways. In a statement Safran explains that together with Fimalac and BNPP they have,

Subscribed convertible bonds prior to the stock market listing of Prodways Group on Euronext Paris. These three investors, as well as Bpifrance and Financière Arbevel, have also pledged to subscribe to Prodways’ capital increase.

Further validation for additive manufacturing technology

赛峰through their joint venture with GECFM International已经帮助推进了增材制造。雷电竞充值但是,尽管CFM International是Leap Engine系列的3D印刷燃料喷嘴的供应商,但GE仍在继续扩大其在3D印刷行业的地位。最值得注意的是,通过供应链中的垂直整合,并在美国公司收购OEM的概念激光和Arcam中很明显。

就ARCAM而言,GE还通过获取ARCAM子公司AP&C(用于添加剂制造的球形金属粉末的主要供应商),加深了价值链的整合。雷电竞充值

高超音速飞行申请

Prodways的先进制造能力可能会在众多Safran项目中找到应用。例如,萨弗兰(Safran)与开发高超音速飞行项目的公司有着密切的联系UK based Reaction Engines Ltd。, who are working on the the佩剑发动机和Skylon平面,具有3D打印的喷油器

金属添加剂制雷电竞充值造不是唯一的应用,因为赛峰Executive Vice President, R&T and Innovation, explains, “赛峰is already at the cutting edge of this field, and uses 3D printing technology to make parts and subassemblies for its engines, as well as aircraft and defense equipment。”
